The bill sits in the Judiciary Committee, where last year it was reported favorably and passed on the House floor but stalled in the Senate. McGonagle was joined by transit workers and members of Boston Carmen’s Union, Local 589 to support H.1877, which includes protections for transit workers who are assaulted while on duty and further defines what is included as assault. “This bill has been a priority of mine for the last few sessions,” McGonagle said. “When you meet with these transit workers and hear Everett resident celebrates 108th birthday their stories, you understand why. They keep our cities and towns moving yet they are needlessly assaulted without proper protection and ramification for offenders. It’s time we give them the protection and support they deserve. I am thankful to Chair Day and Chair Edwards for taking the time to listen and support.” * FREE Salad with purchase of Entree, Tuesdays & Wednesdays * Cheese Pizza - Only $10 Catch ALL The Live Sports Action On Our Large Screen TV’s Scan & Follow Us on Facebook! www.810bargrille.com F riends of Everett’s own Izulia Presome threw her a party at Woodlawn Nursing & Rehabilitation Center in celebration of her 108th birthday.
